Do you have the Realtek ALC1150 sound card? Not sure it's the same issue, but I've spent many, many hours trying to get my built-in sound working. Broke I think on 4.20, although I can't say for sure it's a kernel issue. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1357723 https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/494624 Here are some forum posts I found, marginally related to my issue. It's unbelievably frustrating to yield zero results for the hours I've put into this problem. I don't know if it's BIOS or what, I even booted back into Windows and even then it seems audio-out is broken. Bluetooth audio works for me though, as does audio in via USB microphones. Is this similar?
